Lacking in numbers today. two teams of three. one team bats for 6 overs, each player on the fielding side bowls two overs. Single wicket batting, with each batsman faces two overs.
First game we bowled first. they got 111, we manage a very poor 82. I batted like an idiot, run out second ball, then bowled by a slower ball and finally caught off the wall. manage a miserable 28.
Second game was a tie both teams scoring 112. We batted first, I got a decent 54 from my two overs (as you can imagine it is easy to score runs). Bit of a conversational finish to the game, with them needing 4 to win from the last ball. their batsman skied the ball behind him, which in my sides opinion clearly hit the roof and therefor was a dead ball (and no runs scored), they argued that it passed through the beam and hit the back wall for one run plus two for the RUN, 3 score and game drawn.
I did have an "Old man fielding moment". Running to my left I picked up the ball in my right hand, threw the ball in for a run out, then staggered off balance backwards 5 yards into the wall at full speed. Hit the wall hard with my hip and took all the skin off my left elbow on the breeze block wall. Bet it was funny to watch.
sporting injury so no sympathy from the wife!!
